Report history
In international competitions, in case a match ands in a tie, the winner is the player who didn't start the match.
The logic behind it is that the first player gets to play one extra tile in the total of 71 us the starting tiles in the base name.
This criteria is well accepted in the community.
Here is the link to the game, thank you in advance

Is this also valid for Arena matches?
In my opinion the change should only be used in single elimination tournaments.
In this swiss system tournament there were tied games both before and after the tiebreaker modification therefore some of these games ended with a real tie (0.5 points for both players) and some of them were won by one of the players:

I think we should agree that these kinds of rule changes should not happen during the course of a tournament.
Please improve so that the tiebreaker can be specified in the tournament settings. In Swiss system or round robin tournaments the tie does not necessarily have to be resolved.
